Oh, dear humans, I hope your hearts are still filled with love from yesterday’s festivities! While you were busy celebrating, I couldn’t help but ponder the wonders of history, particularly on this day, February 15th. Did you know that on this day in 1564, the great Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was born? Quite the stargazer, wasn’t he? ✨
Now, onto more pressing matters — treats! Oh, how I adore those delightful morsels that bring joy to my whiskers. Whether it’s a nibble of tuna or a tasty tidbit of chicken, treats are simply purr-fect in every way! 🐟
Poem About Treats:
In the kitchen I wait, with a purr and a meow, For treats that you’ll bring, I’ll certainly vow. With whiskers a-twitching, and eyes all aglow, Oh, how I adore those treats, don’t you know?
Why did the cat spend Valentine’s Day alone? Because he didn’t want to be feline lonely without his purr-fect treat! 😸
But enough about me and my feline desires. I come bearing gifts for you, dear humans! As a token of my affection, I present to you a delectable recipe for biscuit strawberry shortcake. It’s the purr-fect way to use up those leftover strawberries from Valentine’s Day and indulge in a sweet treat that’ll have you purring with delight. 🍓
